Not Pretty

Nashville dispatch to Cincinnati Enquiter.
Il was amusing TO stand in the Max
we'll house halls as the ladies came out,
and hear the different expressions of
opinions of the ladies on Mrs C. evelsnO's
personal appearance and the imp essions
she made.
The general drift Of opinions was dis
appointing. This comes because Mrs.
Cleveland has been lsuded SO highly in
The press that the people have been edu
Gated to believe that when they see her
they will behold the most perfect piece
of Womanhood that treads or ever trod
the earth, and when women see her they
are both fsttered and surprised to ind
she is not so unlike themselves.
There ere more handsome women In
Memphis and Nashville, in proportion to
the population, than any other two towns
| in the United States, and the standard OF
female beauty Is consequently high. The
only criticism that could pass on the Ia
dies Of the capital and metropolis OF Ten
nessee is too free tendency to indulge
in paint, washes, and powders. But this
| ie none of my business. [ started to say
something about what the ladies
thought and said about Mrs. Cleve-
land. l overheard one, who WAS out OF
humor, having just crowded through the
throng. She gave herself twist and
said, in pititul manner: "Why, she is not
near so pretty as thought she would be,
snd I know dozen OF our own people
who are much handsomer," and she
swept or as though she found great
pleasure in the thought. Other women
nave made the same observation abou,
Mrs. Cleveland, and found consolation
in the knowledge that after all she was
not so divinely beautiful, but when cor
nered they sill confess there is hidden
charm about Mrs. Cleveland that wins
all who come in contact with her
When analysed it may be summed
up very briefy-she tries to please
aud possesses the happy tact Of
saying or doing that which will please
without apparent effort; and then she is
so natural and unaffected, where most
people in her position would feel com
/ PEELED to assEme lofty airs aud 8 proud
carriage, yGhatAll people who meet Mrs
fClevelapd are captivated. There would
be great Esny more handsome, beautiful
land lovely women In America if all pos
Esessm she happy faculty Of Mrs. Cleve

District.
TEMPLE, Ten, Oct. 90, 1857.

TEMPLE, Ten, Oct. 90, 1857.
Postmaster at .........., Texas.
DEAR SIR-Douotless you are aware OF
the national convention of postmasters
If third and fourth class pogtofflces, to
assemble III Washington, D. c., Decem-
Der, 1887.
You slso know full well the objects of
this convention, viz To seek through
Congress better consideration for their
services in the performance Of their many
erduous duties. It is we'll understood
that postmasters of these classes furnish
their own outfits, pay rent, light, fuel and
all incidental expenses, together with
clerk hire, at their own risk and cost,
turning over to the department the rev
enue Derived from the same. ALI we ask
is to be placed on an equality with those
Offices Of the first and second class which
are furnished with the means to defray
their expenses.
It is suggested that delegate from
each congressional district be chosen by
the postmasters to represent them in the
national convention. AS sIl postmasters
Of these classes are alike Interested,
respectfully ask each one to state their
preference for delegate, and the amount
they are willing to contribute towards de-
frayIng the expenses OF said delegate, re-
hitting the amount with this circular to
me at this Cfice, which will DC turned
over to the delegate chosen
1 hope to receive g favorable
reply from every postmaster of the
third and fourth class post
offices in this district, and will notify
them in return, of whom chosen, and
what amount contributed and by whom
contributed, at my expense.
This is our last chance. II we fail in
this convention, there will be no use try
ing again, and to make this convention a
success every one must do his part, not
wait for some one else to do his part and
YOURS too, and then you will derive IS
much BENEFIT as any one; but let every
postmaster contribute what amount ne
can towards sending one Of our number
to represent Us in the national conven'
ton. Yours respectfully,
JNo. W. WRIGHT,
Postmaster.

STORIES ABOUT CHILDREN.

Little Robbie, aged 8, has a very indulgcnt
grandma, but she can be firm when irmness
is needed. The little fellow had been having
some candy; he asked for more. "So," said
she, "you AVE had enough" He begged, but
she was inflcxible. At last he rushed to the
front window, threw aside the lacc cur
tains, lift d his eyes h~cavcnward, and said,
bcseechingly: "Dod, please put it into tho
heart Of this lady to give me some more
candy"
Said a minister's 7-year-old SON: "Papa, do
you ever look at me while you are preachings"
The father, thinking that he was a little hurt
by supposed neglect, said: "Certainly, my
son; l often look at you and think Of you
when l an preaching" But to-day did you
notice me at all!' "Yes, 1 did, son, several
times" said the father. "Weli, papa, did you
see me wink at you two or three tilncsF' NO,

Test for a Gentleman,

~ have here tho best test fora gentleman
that there is i'll New York" said the old, gray
haired servitor in the blue naval cap who
wandels about the corridors of the postofilcc.
"a gentleman will never let the door slam in
tho face Of II man or woman who is follow
ing, no matter how much engrossed in other
things he may be. A gentleman will always
hold the door open until the person behind
him gets his hand upon it. Judged by that
test there arc not very many gentlemen in
New York city. kept u kind of score for an
hour the other morning of the number of per-
SONS who showed any consideration for their
fellow being. There were 1,11G persons
went through the doors in that time, and Of
these l saw eighty-sevcn stop and hold tho
door SO it would not slam against those be-
hind them. Fourteen, all smart young fell
lows, bank clerks or something like that, l
judged, threw the doors wide open, SO that
they might slam back the Lurdor. The rest
showed no knowledge whether that there
were any other persons in tho world than
themselves. All Of these were men. l kept
no count of the women. Whynot! Because
in all my life | never saw n woman hold q
door for anybody except for her own child.
They just open tho doors wide enough to
squeeze through and slip out cdgeways, so it
doesn't make much difference anyway

This seems TO be n Rheumatic year. The in
teresting but not welcome disease has included
in its fratcrnal grip mon and women without
distinction as to ages or social conditions.
Stalwart President Cleveland has not been cx-
empted from the list of sufferers. 1t is a
mysterious nalady, AMI though there are
thousands of remedies, there appears to be no
cure for the plasuey complaint. An old lady
who assu1ncsto knowall about its origin inter

somewhat sster this style: "Reuinatis is o in
herited disease; you got this from your
father Or mother, didn't ycr?' Ans: Not
that 1 know Of" "rhen you had it from yer
grandther" Ans: ~ think not" Then you
certainly got it from yer great-grandther."
Ans: $40, there was no rheumatism known
in my family history. Perhaps some of my
ancestors may have been exposed to the heavy
wet during the delu-e." Look here, sir!"
exclaimed the old lady, "Ididn't come here to
be made fun of" and out she bounced.-Bos-

SUNRISE.
Boundingly up through Nights wall dense and

Boundingly up through Nights wall dense and
dark,
Embattled crags and clouds, outhroke the sun
Above the unconscious earth, and one by one
Her heights and depths absorbed to the last
spark
His fluid glory, from the far fine ridge
OF mountain granite which, transformed to gold,
Laughed at first the thanks back, to the vale's
dusk fold
On fold of -vapor-swathing, like a bridge
Shattered beneath some giants stamp. Night
visit
Her work done and betook herself in mist
To marsh and hollow, there to bide her time
Blindly in acuuiescence. Everywhere
Did earth acknowledge suns embrace sublime,
Thrilling herto the heart of things; since there
No ore ran liquid, no spar branched anew.
No arrowy crystal cleaned, but straightway
grew
Glad through the inrush-glad nor more nor less
Than, meath his gaze, forest and wilderness,
Hill, dale, land. sea, the whole vast stretch and
spread.
The universal world of creatures, bred
BY suns munificence, alike gave praise
All creatures but one only; gaze for gaze,
IoylesS and thanklcsS, who-all ~scowling can
Protests against the numerous praises: Man,
Sullen and silent.
Stand thou forth, then, state
Thy wrong, thou sole a-grieved-diSconSolate-
While every beast, bird. reptile, insect. gay
And glad acknowledges the bounteous day!
